Margin and equity?

Hello all. Never been able to get my head round margin, equity etc. Simple question, if I deposit $1000 with a broker, at 1:50 leverage, and trading 0.01 lots (micro, so approximately 10c per pip?), and a max 100 pips stop (so $10 at 10c/pip), how many 0.01 lots can I trade before I get a margin call? Not that I can't do simple maths, but just get confused what to base calculation on (margin, equity etc)! Thanks. Also, is there an indicator that monitors your margin based on your account size, open and pending trades, lot size etc?

Not going much complicated, trade single pair with maximum 0.03 lot staggering basis. It will be profitable.
